Journal ArticleDOI
Microglial migration mediated by ATP-induced ATP release from lysosomes
Ying Dou,Hang-jun Wu,Hang-jun Wu,Hui-quan Li,Song Qin,Yin-er Wang,Jing Li,Huifang Lou,Zhong Chen,Xiao-Ming Li,Qingming Luo,Shumin Duan +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that microglia respond to extracellular ATP by releasing ATP themselves through lysosomal exocytosis, thereby providing a positive feedback mechanism to generate a long-rangeextracellular signal for attracting distantmicroglia to migrate towards and accumulate at the site of injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
P2Y4 receptor-mediated pinocytosis contributes to amyloid beta-induced self-uptake by microglia.
Hui-quan Li,Cong Chen,Ying Dou,Hang-jun Wu,Yi-Jun Liu,Huifang Lou,Jian-min Zhang,Xiao-Ming Li,Hao Wang,Shumin Duan,Shumin Duan +10 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate a previously unknown function of ATP as a “drink me” signal for microglia and P2Y4 receptors as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal activity regulates neurotransmitter switching in the adult brain following light-induced stress
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that elevated activity of dopaminergic neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PaVN) in the adult rat is required for the loss of dopamine expression after long-day photoperiod exposure, indicating homeostatic regulation of transmitter expression in the PaVN.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise enhances motor skill learning by neurotransmitter switching in the adult midbrain
Hui-quan Li,Nicholas C. Spitzer +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that neurotransmitter switching provides the basis by which sustained running benefits motor skill learning, presenting a target for clinical treatment of movement disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of microglial migration by a micropipette assay
Hang-jun Wu,Yi-Jun Liu,Hui-quan Li,Cong Chen,Ying Dou,Huifang Lou,Margaret S. Ho,Xiao-Ming Li,Zhihua Gao,Shumin Duan +9 more
TL;DR: A protocol for rapidly triggering and monitoring microglial migration by using a micropipette assay that can be adopted to examine cell migration in multiple cell types, including cancer cells with a wide range of chemical signals.
